Stop drinking, you are just saying that US is a slave of China/Russia
President Trump is signaling that he may be prepared to sign a peace agreement with Russia and dare Ukraine to reject it. Before you scoff, consider this hypothetical scenario: 1. Trump announces a 28-point peace framework that includes hundreds of billions in reconstruction funding, territorial swaps, a demilitarized zone, arrangements for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and American-backed security guarantees. Essentially a sweetened Witkoff–Dmitriev plan. 2. Putin goes on television, announces that the “Special Military Operation” is over, accepts the agreement, and declares an end to offensive operations. 3. Trump announces that America considers the war over and formally certifies a cessation of hostilities to Congress (setting the stage for lifting sanctions on Russia). He warns that if Ukraine rejects the agreement and continues military operations, Washington will consider Ukraine as the aggressor, not the victim, and reconsider its military, intelligence, and diplomatic support accordingly. 4. Markets surge; oil dumps. A handful of European leaders, China, and other governments welcome the breakthrough and congratulate Trump on ending the war. Trump spends the final days of the American election campaign declaring that he accomplished what everyone said was impossible. Is this the very scenario President Zelensky was concerned about on television today?

Ab wann ist es Betrug? Seit 2017 konnte man diesen Tesla gegen eine Anzahlung von mind. 43.000 Euro vorbestellen. Ausgeliefert wurden NULL. Heute findet man zu diesem Model bei Tesla nichts mehr. Stattdessen ein neues völlig anderes Auto. Anzahlung: 50.000 Lieferdatum: 🤷‍♂️

La nuova Roadster di Tesla: prenotata nel 2017, attesa per il 2028, consegna non garantita dal contratto. Ottimo marketing, ma l’innovazione è un’altra cosa. Ne scrivo su #abassavoce (link nel primo commento). 1/2

You paid an account on 2017 for which you should delivered on 2020. Now it's 2026 and you only have this show, without any car
Living in Europe vs living in the US feels like tech is centuries apart. Europe introduces the electric Citroen 2CV this week. US launches flying cars with the Tesla Roadster.
Community note
The Citroën 2CV electric is a concept previewing 2028 production, not introduced this week; Tesla's Roadster is a prototype reveal with 2028 production target whose "flying" uses limited thruster stunts in demos, not a practical or launched flying car. media.stellantis.com/em-en/citroen/… tesla.com/roadster kbb.com/car-news/what-

People seem confused about why Tesla is getting so much backlash over its new "flying Roadster." For those of us who were once genuinely enthusiastic about Tesla, this isn't about hating innovation. It's about a long history of broken promises, misleading expectations, and increasingly absurd marketing. Tesla unveiled the second-generation Roadster in 2017, took customer deposits, and promised deliveries in 2020. Six years past that deadline, it still hasn't delivered the car. Instead, it's demonstrating an even more outrageous version with features that will likely never make it into production. The original 2nd gen Roadster would still be an amazing car today. Why not just deliver what was promised? Then there's Full Self-Driving. Tesla marketed the idea that Model 3 owners could turn their cars into income-generating robotaxis. That never materialized. Even if the technology eventually gets there, the opportunity has already passed for many early buyers. Timing matters. Delivering something a decade late isn't fulfilling the promise you sold to customers. And then there's Solar Roof. Unveiled in 2016 as a revolutionary approach to residential solar, it struggled with costs, installation challenges, and adoption far below expectations. After nearly a decade, Tesla discontinued it entirely in August 2026. Another grand vision abandoned, leaving existing customers with a discontinued product to maintain. Then came the Cybertruck, marketed as a nearly indestructible, revolutionary truck. Instead, we got a vehicle with questionable build quality, numerous recalls, expensive repairs, disappointing results in several real-world off-road tests, and specifications that fell short of the original promises. It literally looks like a dumpster, but aesthetics aside, the collapsing demand speaks volumes about the reality of what Tesla delivered. Another heavily hyped product that fell dramatically short of expectations. This is how consumer trust erodes. Not through one disappointment, but through years of accumulating them. And this is part of the reason why many people who were once enthusiastic about Tesla have become critical and cynical about it. But there's something even more fundamental here: Tesla has completely departed from the grounded, practical vision that made so many of us enthusiastic about the company in the first place. Electric cars were ambitious, but the idea was grounded in reality. People could charge at home, infrastructure could gradually expand, technology could improve, and millions of ordinary people could eventually benefit. There was a realistic path toward mass adoption. What the hell does a flying Roadster powered by compressed-air thrusters have to do with any of that? It's an expensive, impractical engineering stunt with enormous packaging, safety, and regulatory challenges, and no credible near-term path toward mass-market usefulness. Modern electric cars already achieve ridiculous acceleration without this nonsense. What practical problem does it solve? Who actually needs it? When will ordinary consumers benefit? And watching Tesla fans compare this experimental prototype in a Roadster-shaped shell to actual production vehicles people can buy today is ridiculous. What's especially infuriating is the cult-like mentality surrounding all of this. You can't point out the history of failed promises, question the practicality, or demand realistic timelines without being accused of being a "hater" or having "Elon derangement syndrome." Tesla deserves recognition for helping make electric cars a reality, but that success doesn't give it a blank check to keep marketing increasingly fantastical promises while failing to deliver on previous commitments. This isn't hatred. It's disappointment from people who once believed in the company, watched it accomplish extraordinary things, and have since watched it increasingly substitute practical innovation with spectacle and promises. Elon fanboys are also ignoring a bigger pattern that goes beyond Tesla. What made many of us enthusiastic about Elon and Tesla and in the first place was a grounded vision of technological progress that could genuinely improve millions of lives. Electric cars were ambitious, but practical, achievable, and useful to ordinary people. Now we're supposed to get excited about flying cars with compressed-air thrusters that have no credible path to mass adoption and solve no meaningful problem for the average consumer. It's the same kind of thinking behind marketing the colonization of Mars as some urgent necessity for humanity's survival. There's nothing wrong with space exploration, but Earth isn't about to become uninhabitable because of the Sun. We're talking about geological timescales, while humanity faces enormous problems RIGHT NOW: poverty, hunger, access to education, corruption, abuse of power, wars, and a lack of government accountability. We have plenty of very real problems to solve before worrying about humanity's survival on another planet. And then there's DOGE. I was genuinely excited about the original idea of making government more efficient, reducing waste, and increasing accountability. Instead, we got questionable savings figures, inexperienced people making sweeping decisions, serious concerns over access to sensitive personal information, and an initiative that ultimately fizzled out without delivering its grand promises. Another enormous narrative that fell apart when confronted with reality. That's what makes all of this so frustrating. It's not that we stopped believing in technological progress. It's that we've watched someone who once pursued grounded, transformative ideas increasingly embrace fantastical promises, political spectacle, and questionable narratives disconnected from practical reality. And somehow, pointing out this history of disappointment gets you labeled a "hater" or accused of having "Elon derangement syndrome." The problem isn't dreaming big. It's repeatedly selling people those dreams, failing to deliver, and then expecting everyone to applaud the next, even more ridiculous promise without asking what happened to the last one. The world doesn't need more spectacular promises. It needs practical solutions to real problems, honest expectations, and accountability for what was promised. That's what made Tesla exciting in the first place, and that's what so many of us feel has been betrayed.

💯 @MKBHD is right! The 2017 roadster was 100x simpler and nearly 10 years later it still hasn’t shipped! It’s just not an important product for $TSLA. Even if it ships it makes almost no difference to revenues and profits!

The damage for SpaceX is massive "The European Union is working toward fast-track antitrust approval for a satellite joint venture between Leonardo SpA, Airbus SE, and Thales SA, which is positioned as Europe's response to SpaceX" The actions of the 🇺🇸 US administration have consequences. Recent reports from 4 sources confirm that both Elon and Trump supported the restrictions of Starshield, which confirms my earlier posts stating that SpaceX is involved and part of it. The Telegraph on Oct. 16 reported that it was Musk who proposed the speed cap to Trump — and Trump "agreed," one source said. That sounds very likely to what really had happened including Elons denial to have any responsibility (half true) and Trumps lie which is just one more of the many he spreads every day. finance.yahoo.com/economy/po…

La smettiamo di chiamarla "auto volante"? La Tesla Roadster viene venduta in 3 versioni: performance, thrust, e rocket. - La performance, quella che finirà sul mercato, non vola, ne accelera con quella velocità. - La thrust nemmeno, ha solo la spinta per l'accelerazione (4/5 secondi di spinta). - La rocket, come quella usata nella demo, può "volare" per 4/5 secondi. Ma ha installato un altro serbatoio aggiuntivo da 400 litri d'aria compressa, quindi nell'abitacolo c'entra si e no il pilota. Quindi di fatto più che volare, plana. Bella, fighissima, tecnologicamente all'avanguardia, interessante soprattutto per quanto riguarda gli sviluppi futuri, ma NON VOLA!

Elon Musk reportedly proposed restrictions that crippled Ukraine’s Starshield drone defences during Russian attacks. Other sources traced the order to the White House. The deliberate slowdown raises questions about possible sabotage of Ukraine’s defences.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph. The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries. ‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement. But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe. The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown. ‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

Voglio vedere un product manager che chiede un auto che vola, fregandosene del prezzo finale
dite quello che volete ma ve lo immaginate un brand europeo sviluppare questo prodotto? e questa presentazione ci fa sentire tutti vecchi come quando lanciarono l´Iphone l´innovazione non é piú terreno per l´europa? vogliamo continuare a fare i prodotti dei bisnonni?

La verità è che i costruttori cinesi hanno il veto da parte del loro governo di avere fabbriche nei paesi che hanno chiesto dazi alle auto (Germania, Italia, etc). Non a caso costruiscono in Spagna e Ungheria. Se lo so io, lo sa anche lui che raccontando il falso.
I cinesi volevano investire in una fabbrica di automobili in Italia e potenzialmente utilizzarla come centro di produzione di auto elettriche da vendere nel mercato europeo Il governo italiano gli ha detto no , e conosco bene come sono andate le discussioni I cinesi, quindi guardano a Francia e Spagna in aggiunta all’Ungheria, come possibili centri di produzione delle loro auto elettriche Auto elettriche che una volta prodotte in uno dei 26 paesi potranno poi essere esportate in qualsiasi altro Italia compresa Quindi, Pil per l’Ungheria Pil per la Francia Pil per la Spagna, niente per l’Italia

It’s just common sense. Russia is no friend to the US. Our own Secretary of War testified under oath a couple weeks ago that Russia was helping Iran murder US service members. When asked who the US wanted to see win the war, the Department of War said “not Russia”. Russia is not on the right side of history. Russia has been helping Iran kill Americans. I really question the motive of any so called “influencer” who says Russia is the good guy in this situation. Russian state media spends all day everyday amplifying and botting the social media accounts of every single rabid anti-Trump and pro-Hitler podcaster out there. Notice how the “influencers” never mention this. It’s the same people who refuse to condemn Tucker Carlson. Interesting isn’t it? One big club.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t even matter if Zelenskyy is President of Ukraine or not. @ZelenskyyUa Putin’s goal is to take Ukraine. Then he will take Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and he will make his way through all of Europe. People obsess over personalities too much. You could have an election in Ukraine tomorrow and Putin would still find a reason to be at war. Russia INVADED Ukraine. Not the other way around. Zelenskyy’s removal from office won’t stop Russian imperialism. It’s not about Zelenskyy. It’s about Putin. It’s always been about Putin.

Our group, @RenewEurope , is calling on European leaders to take urgent action, as the restrictions imposed by @Starlink are jeopardizing Ukraine’s defense. We must not leave it up to @elonmusk and Donald Trump @POTUS to decide whether Ukraine will be able to defend itself or not. It is time for Europe to step in and ensure that Kyiv has access to satellite communications and that European capabilities can be deployed to fill the gap. Digital sovereignty is a security imperative. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Elon Musk wird zum Sicherheitsrisiko für Unternehmen und Staaten.
I'm absolutely sure that customers and governments around the world will be absolutely thrilled to sign multimillion-dollar contracts with Starlink and rely on its services, knowing that at any moment Elon Musk will jump up to violate every contractual obligation and shut down their terminals whenever his boss gets another insane whim up his head.
